Clubs and Activities

Bang for the buck

To Scholarship: I am writing my Essay to help getting me a scholarship; I am very excited to be a student at Kauai Community College. I am a mother of eight and happily married. Growing in a big family was always hard work, school and cleaning. As I was graduating High School, I never thought of seeing myself a student at a college or going to college. Never heard my parents ask us about college and if we were interested in going to school but am Very blessed to be able to go. My first Semester at Kauai Community College was great, I thought I wasn’t able to do it but with the support of my husband and children I am able to succeed. I’ve been on Island for 6 years and love that planting here in Kauai is that easy, My parents and little brother planted some Taro and its blooming just great, also Me and my husband got some Tea leaf from friends and able to plant them right tin the dirt. Talk about exiting, my first Banana tree just blooms and lots of Bananas, I know that as I live here in Kauai, I am able to plant and feed my children. I share with my family in the Mainland how nice and simple it is to grow food and plants. Thanks, Diean Kamauoha

Campus Safety

Always feel safe being on campus.

Bang for the buck

I am hoping to gain more bang for my buck by applying for as many scholarships as possible to help lower my costs to attend Kauai Community College; if you are a resident costs are dramatically cheaper.

What to do for fun

Kauai Community College has numerous lawn areas where students may go to sit, study, eat, or all of the above! The green lawns are very welcoming if one grows tired of the library.

Food and Dining

Given the location and size of my campus, we only have a cafeteria that provides your standard lunch, including all food groups.

Dorm Life

Unfortunately this campus is too small to attain dormitories; however, classes are small enough to provide students with very personable student relationships while on campus.

Academic Rigor

This campus seems to provide its students with a very well-rounded education. The classes offered help to prepare students to continue educational pursuance at other highly credited universities.

Tips for prospective students

Being a prospective student for a couple months now, I would recommend to other students to visit the Counseling department before doing anything! The staff there is amazing and can provide not only different educational opportunities, but volunteer and financial aid as well!

In three sentences

Kauai Community College is a fantastic school with a very central location on the isle of Kauai. The staff is very helpful and provide information for the different opportunities offered. The many options for continuing your education is great; anyone with a will to go to school can make it happen.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

People are pretty normal and reserved on campus, nothing out of the ordinary.

What to do for fun

Hang out with your friends, or go hang out at the student lounge.

Food and Dining

I make my school meal for the day. There is a cafeteria however, I haven't eaten there due to my back-to-back classes.

Dorm Life

No dorms.

Tips for prospective students

Study hard and appreciate the fact that you live in paradise!

In three sentences

It is a fairly decent college for a small island such as Kauai. Most of our teachers are passionate about their job and are helpful. There is not much social life here but it is a great college to save up while earning your undergraduate credits.

Always learn where your classes are before you start. Always ask for help people on campus are friendly and helpful. Don't procrastinating do work on time.

In three sentences

Kauai community college is a very friendly college with a wide variety of students. The opportunities available are outstanding. This school is a great way to start your education it had good foundation.

Campus Safety

24/7 Patrolling Safety Officer. Every student who is registered is sent on the spot alerts and alarms when there is a safety issue, or an FYI instance. I feel comfortable knowing they are constantly driving around, and offering assistance to anyone in need.

Greek Life

We do have Fraternities and Sorority chapters!

Clubs and Activities

There are several clubs that are fun, educational and diverse. I don't know a week we do not have something going on beyond classes. The lectures and mini-classes make the experience rewarding.

Great for these types of students

Warm, enthusiastic, and a lover of education. It can be distracting to most because of the paradise setting we live in. But if you can prioritize your time, there is room for growth and play.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We don't have the unusual, but we have a strong Hawaiian Cultural. I am personally Hawaiian and not many people know, Kauai is the 1st place the hula was performed!!

Bang for the buck

Local grinds (food), organic farms, and charitable organizations make sustaining life outside of school possible. Get connected with the land and each other makes for a stress-free time in the class room.

What to do for fun

Everything here is fun. I go to the beach to swim, play, meditate, sunbath, and do homework. Mostly every night there is a zumba class. I also dance for our local Hawaiian and Tahitian teachers. Life is full and rewarding in and out of the classroom here on Kauai.

Food and Dining

We are fortunate to have Mark, the owner of Mark's Place as a culinary teacher for our program. This means gourmet food, at a fraction of the cost. It is truly a hidden gem. Who would have thought it was possible from a school cafeteria!

Dorm Life

There are no dorms here, but plenty of advertisements for room-mates. People here are laid back personal, however, we take our education seriously. No matter where you are on island, KCC, is easy access.

Academic Rigor

If you know the reason you are attending college, you will be able to push past the struggles of the first year. The great thing about KCC is there is so much help and positive assistance, you can accomplish your achievements if you dare to go out of your comfort zone!

Tips for prospective students

Utilize the help of counselors, advisers, fellow students and tutoring programs. The more you network, the more you gain. No time to be shy, dive in and see how richly your time here will be!

In three sentences

KCC is an outstanding facility to learn. Most teachers are professionals that have excelled in there profession. The campus is organized so everything is accessible and easy to get find, with friendly knowledgeable staff.
